Rings that turn your hand into a phone

Damian Koh | Sep 11, 2009

Imagine the day when you can simply lift up your hand and press it next to your cheek to answer an incoming call. That's exactly what you're looking at in the picture on the right.

The pink ring on the thumb acts as the earpiece, while the yellow one that fits halfway down the pinky is where the user speaks into. The concept is as mysterious as it is bewildering. How does it work? Are the bands connected to each other and a handset via Bluetooth? Or are they standalone gizmos that let you make and receive calls? There's obviously no camera onboard, so perhaps we have to look into this to take a picture. A pair of OLED data glasses that let you see who's calling would be a great complement, too.

By the way, did you know that the hand symbol is known as a shaka sign?
